Announcer talking about a diver who landed on her stomach a few years ago and "punctured a lung, separated chest cartilage and popped ribs out of place" : "She doesn't do that dive anymore."
So with France down 5 to Spain with 30 seconds left they started fouling. Except they started fouling via nut-punching, leading to back to back flagrants (or whatever they call it in the Olympics)
So every time that Jack In The Box ad is up behind the plate and an opposing player gets a hit, it's the company asking for the away team to get a hit, on screen as the ball is hit, and on most replays. I do not think this ad was well considered.
Did USA women's water polo coach just send the game to overtime by calling an illegal time out with one secon left and a one goal lead, giving Australia a penalty shot?
The US scored 49 points in the first quarter of their basketball game today. That's like a 230 point pace over 48 minutes. 235. And handball isn't as stupid as water polo, where they take shockingly few shots despite losing the ball a lot in turnovers on passes and making such a high percentage of shots taken. I can't believe that's an optimal strategy, top level of the sport or not.
Fuld does have a very impressive Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fuld I had no idea that the mothers of grown men were writing wikipedia entries for their sons now.
I think all of the appearances early in the year are taking their toll. Or maybe, Camp remembered that he is not that good. They had just enough of whatever it was to get him through the trade deadline, but no one bit.
$44 of $46 million? There better be a top prospect in that kind of deal, that's absurd to get next to nothing in return for giving Soriano away for $1 million per year for the rest of the contract. Yeah if there isn't a decent prospect involved, he's more valuable as protection for Rizzo in the lineup. I feel like I'm missing some bad inside joke.
